OUR 2025 COLOUR OF THE YEAR
SICO’s Starry Night (6044-83) is a deep, bold purple that makes a statement. Inspired by the rich undertones of the night sky and purple basil, our 2025 colour of the year embraces the ever-growing trend of maximalism to let DIYers and daydreamers express themselves and let their dark side shine.
Why purple?
Historically, purple was a shade associated with royalty, as its pigment was the rarest and most difficult to extract. Today, rich colours are trending once again, with more traditional styles of home decor taking centre stage. Starry Night captures this ambiance, conveying a sense of elegance and exclusivity to every room in the home. 2025 is the year to stray from the habitual neutrals and instead celebrate individuality in a space that is truly and proudly yours. With its dark, neutral-esque dusty violet and mauve undertone, Starry Night can pair with any trending aesthetic, from traditional European inspirations to contemporary chic.
The transformative power of colour
According to colour psychology, purple palettes symbolize the harmony of mind and emotion, as well as balance and stability. Known for their calming yet uplifting properties, shades of purple stimulate creativity, making them the ideal colour for any living space. Starry Night is the perfect colour to represent this acceptance of self-exploration and discovery in a warm atmosphere.
Make it shine
Darker colours can be incorporated into your decor in many ways. Several current trends facilitate the integration of daring colours, like an accent wall, wallpaper-effects with an eye-catching pattern, and brightly painted cabinets. Whether it be as an accent colour or as a bold choice for an entire room, Starry Night can make any space shine. Don't be shy, try this gutsy statement in your home.
Cool & collected
Pair our unique colour of the year with a lighter, cooler shade, like Kootenay Grey (6205-31), to add depth while keeping a fresh and airy look. Combining our dark purple and a grey with cool undertones gives your space an avant-garde flair while allowing room for other accents. This colour palette balances light and dark perfectly for a bold yet sober look.
Cozy comfort
With rich pops of colour and golden shades like Soft-shell Clam (6193-53), create a cozy atmosphere for your most comfortable rooms, like your living room. Transform your space into a cocoon with this warm colour palette that’ll feel like summer all year round.
Soft & serene
Is this bold shade just a little too daunting for you? Soften the look with a delicate pink like Pink Adobe (6073-31). This pairing tones down the purple while elevating the pink, for a peaceful and calming vibe that’ll radiate throughout your home. Choose accessories that reflect the purple to bring the whole look together and make a trendy statement.
Dare to go dark
It’s time to delve into the hidden side of ourselves and unapologetically welcome the warmth and energy of this shade. In which room will you unapologetically go dark?
